Guess what the first bingo space is? You seriously can't make this up.

Damn, this is brutal. Family member berates cousin over height.

Holy cripes! Do men under 5'8 fall into the sub-human category? Jeez!

We're viewed as faceless NPCs. Just pay attention to how some women interact with you at work. The ones who are indifferent and cold to you, but not taller guys are exactly these posters.

"Heightism doesn't exist because women would date Danny Devito"

This has to be the most bizarre thing I've ever read. If this is true then the Bagel Boss should have been swimming in dates and never wet on that tirade right?

6'1 streamer Speed reacts to Alisha Lehmann calling him "small"

https://x.com/iShowSpeedHQ/status/1809586694531751980

It's funny how offended Speed (the streamer) is here when he knows he is nowhere near "small" or "short".

I'm not familiar with the soccer player, but notice how she retorts with the usual, "but I'm a girl though".

She says, "Short guys have high standards and have the least to offer"

The mistake is believing that someone's standards are indicative of their outer packaging. What makes people think the princess (which represents the average everyday person) has "the most to offer"?

5'5 Cop Body Slams 6'3 Bully

This guy was going around breaking windows and causing up a stir with the employees and in-house security, so the short cop you see in the video who was by himself had to put in some work.

The officer didn't flinch, remained calm throughout and held command from start to finish.

She looked past his size for happiness.

They're now calling these "mixed-weight" relationships. 🙄

I don't see how this is a big deal. The guy is still taller than his woman, and the media has pushed bigger men with thinner women forever. Think about the television series, "The Honeymooners", "King Of Queens",  even "The Flintstones" and "Family Guy".

George Stephanopoulos apologizes for being frank after Biden interview

He told TMZ (probably unknowingly) that he thinks that Biden can't serve another four years. His exact words were, "I don't think he can serve another four years". He later apologized via his spokesman, to which ABC replied that George Stephanopoulos's views do not represent those of the company.

George Stephanopoulos is 5'6. 

You can find the Axios article covering the story here.

Heightism just a form of sexism

The heightism that short man face doesn't usually extend to short woman. I have never seen someone body shame a woman for being short. Short woman tend to be preferred  socially/romantically. Lastly in most movies/tv shows/romantic books the woman is always depicted as petite never tall

While tall woman share some privileges that tall men have such as being perceived as competent/getting more respect, there tends to be body-shaming/hatred that gets targeted at tall woman (short men have it worse).

Woman that are tall are often made to believe they aren't ''real woman'' and must be transgenders/cross-dressers since womanhood is defined by being small. While woman have a stronger preference for height men aren't innocent, men tend to feel emasculated/feel like their is manhood is taken away if the woman is taller than him. That's why you have tall woman that avoid high heels and hunch to protect their boyfriends egos.

Conclusion: The hatred of short man doesn't stem from them being short but the hatred of short men stems from them being perceived as feminine similar to tall woman being perceived as masculine (sexism: tall=masculine, short=feminine), (short men have it harder since femininity is men is despised more).

In 2023, NYC made height discrimination illegal

In 2023, both height and weight were added to the list of protected classes as it pertains to employment in New York City.

These men paid over $100K to get taller.

 

The presenter in this video said "If god made me short, I wouldn't do it". Umm, yes he would if he could.

The man only knows life as a 5'11 man and doesn't deal with the societal shunning that comes with being a short man.

Why only 15% of women would date men under 5'8

The woman in this video unsurprisingly makes this video about taller men becoming more serious partners than coming up with a solution for the men under 5'8.
